When 9-4 is the best we can collectively do, it's not a good week. Your Fearless Leader went a paltry 6-7 and ended up somewhere in the 40's. Surely 2 weeks of mediocre picks would be enough to knock me from the top spot?

Nope, I maintain my grip on the top spot, in another tie with the fantastically named Kickit2Peterson. At this point, it's looking like only the top 20 or so still have a realistic shot at the championship. There are only 3 weeks left.

Faith in the Tigers paid off well, but that was about it for the week. Cover failures by Tennessee and Florida, along with an outright shocking upset by USL in The Battle for The Hyphenate left most of the group reeling. The best upset that I called was Tulsa's cover of Arkansas.

Not as much craziness this week as I think the season is settling down before the big end of year upsets. That K State-TCU line is new, but once you realize TCU has technically been without their best QB all year, the Wildcats become an easy pick. Mizzou lines up the firing squad for Dooley, Oregon St regains some respect (and gets some In-And-Out), and Penn St assures a year of irrelevancy for the B1G. Johhny Football works some magic, but it wont be enough. WVU scores last in a track meet, Vandy tempers the Ole Miss optimism, and WHY GOD WHY IS TULANE/MEMPHIS ON HERE!?
